I also have an NEX-5N and at first I was a bit troubled by the menu system (coming from a Canon SLR background). After using it for a while though, I find it very easy to use since there are customize-able buttons. Another great thing about this camera is the ability to use thrid-party lenses. I love the manual aperture ring in thos (I believe your Canon s95 also has this). For more info on my experience using the NEEX-5N you can see my article below:
